Our President supports arming teachers to protect our school kids. TDI is proud to be a leader in the movement to arm school staff and we do so to higher qualification standards than the Ohio Police Officers annual handgun recertification test.

The curriculum developed by John Benner and the TDI staff had already trained more than 1,000 school staff with the permission of their administrations.

President Donald Trump, leading an emotional discussion with families touched by school gun violence, signaled support for a plan to arm teachers and coaches and also tighten background checks and mental-health screening before gun purchases.
